Black Friday Sucks

You might be groaning.

An opinion piece? On a sneaker website? “I didn’t come here for opinions, I came here to read about sneakers”. Well that’s just great. Sneakers and sneaker-related topics (which this kind of is, in a funny way) are going to be 95% of what goes on here. However, occasionally there’s an issue that needs to be written about. Much like the Bar Louie piece I wrote this July, I feel like writing about something that “really grinds my gears” as Peter Griffin might say. read more

Flight Club: What It’s All About

There’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of/visited (either online or in person)/bought from Flight Club. One of the most well-known sneaker stores in the world, they have everything from rare SB’s to promo Teyana Taylor Adidas.

It’s pretty great that there’s a shoe store that has almost everything a sneakerhead can dream of. However, sometimes questions arise. Why’s Flight Club so expensive? Where do they get their shoes from? I’d be more than happy to answer those questions, and let you know about how a store like Flight Club does business as well. read more

There’s Nothing Like That First Pair Of Jordans

I gave my mom her first pair of Jordans this week.

Why’s that, you might ask? It was her birthday, and being the sneaker fiend that I am I figured that a dope pair of kicks would make for a great present. Plus, they were Jordan I Highs. Everyone loves Jordan I Highs. From sneakerheads to skaters to people who really don’t care about sneakers at all, you really can’t go wrong.

Plus there’s nothing quite like that first pair of Jordans. Some people might get them when they’re still waddling around, not 1oo percent sure how to walk. Some might get them as a Christmas present. Some might not even get their first pair until they’re well into their 30’s. read more
